Hard Love

About this show

In this fierce romantic drama by preeminent Israeli playwright Motti Lerner, Hannah and Zvi reunite after divorcing twenty years earlier. Raised in Jerusalem's ultra-Orthodox Mea Shearim, the couple ended their marriage when Zvi turned his back on Judaism and Hannah did not. Now the teenage children from their second marriages have become romantically involved, forcing Hannah and Zvi back into each other's lives. Part of Untitled Theater Company 61's Festival of Jewish Theater & Ideas, Hard Love is the first-ever full staging in New York of the work of this notable playwright.
